Wrc+

[Morte66]

Last week I subscribed to WRC+ for one month to try it. I don't think I'm going to renew, because...

- The 3x 1 hour of live rallying is not very good. They manage to put in about 50% filler, like interviews they've shown before and the celebrity drifting for the third or fourth time. And the commentator just will not shut up when there is nothing to say.

- The highlights are pretty ordinary. At the end of the highlights I don't have any sense of why driver X has moved from 3rd to 4th or whatever. There is no insight to it, nobody on this show is going to become a respected sports journalist. They miss a lot of actual highlights that I can see for free on social media, uploaded by spectators. And again there is a lot of repeat footage. It's not terrible, it would be OK on free TV for the general public, but for paying subscribers (i.e. enthusiasts) I would like more careful and intelligent coverage.

- The basic video quality is inadequate. It's OK resolution, but not enough bitrate for high motion. Many fan uploads to youtube are quite a lot better.

- I think the best part is the onboard footage. Well, except when the sound disappears. I might pay 10 euros a year for this, but not fifty.

Still, maybe Sweden will change my mind.
